Thesis Title: Towards an Aesthetic Epistemology: Transforming Thinking through Anthroposophy and Cybernetic Epistemology

About

I've taught physics, philosophy, and other subjects in Waldorf high schools across the American West, using super-skillz gleaned from my bachelor's degree in philosophy from Colorado College (thesis on Whitehead and quantum mechanics) and master's degree in consciousness studies from John F. Kennedy University (thesis entitled "The Elements as an Archetype of Transformation: An Exploration of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire,").  My education has taught me that it is just as important to explore how we think as what we think. Thus, I'm currently writing a PhD dissertation in the nascent (academic) field of transformative studies at CIIS, in which I address connections between spiritual science and cybernetic epistemology. The current working title is "Towards an Aesthetic Epistemology: Transforming Thinking through Anthroposophy and Cybernetic Epistemology". 

I do freelance web and print design for food as sole proprietor of Spirit Alchemy Design.

My research interests include:
Anthroposophy, alchemy, cybernetics, transformation, archetypes, spirituality, science, consciousness, transdisciplinarity, philosophy and much more.

Many of my papers are posted at my website: http://www.spiritalchemy.com/articles, as well as my blog:
